Evidence Guide
EVIDENCE GUIDE

9) The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction
with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement
and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. .
The Evidence Guide forms an integral part of this unit. It must be used in conjunction
with all parts of the unit and performed in accordance with the Assessment Guidelines
of this Training Package.

Overview of 9.1)
Assessment

Longitudinal competency development approaches to assessment,

such as Profiling, require data to be reliably gathered in a form that
can be consistently interpreted over time. This approach is best
utilised in Apprenticeship programs and reduces assessment
intervention. It is the Industry-preferred model for apprenticeships.

Approved Page 9 of 14

UEENEEH110A Install commercial video/audio system components Date this document was generated: 25 October 2013

However, where summative (or final) assessment is used it must

include the application of the competency in the normal work
environment or, at a minimum, the application of the competency
in a realistically simulated work environment. It is recognised that,
in some circumstances, assessment in part or full can occur outside
the workplace. However, it must be in accord with industry and
regulatory policy.
Methods chosen for a particular assessment will be influenced by
various factors. These include the extent of the assessment, the
most effective locations for the assessment activities to take place,
access to physical resources, additional safety measures that may
be required and the critical nature of the competencies being
assessed.
The critical safety nature of working with electricity, electrical
equipment, gas or any other hazardous substance/material carries
risk in deeming a person competent. Sources of evidence need to
be ‘rich’ in nature to minimise error in judgment.
Activities associated with normal everyday work influence
decisions about how/how much the data gathered will contribute to
its ‘richness’. Some skills are more critical to safety and
operational requirements while the same skills may be more or
less frequently practised. These points are raised for the assessors
to consider when choosing an assessment method and developing
assessment instruments. Sample assessment instruments are
included for Assessors in the Assessment Guidelines of this
Training Package.

Critical aspects 9.2)

of evidence
required to
demonstrate
competency in
this unit

Before the critical aspects of evidence are considered all

prerequisites shall be met.
Evidence for competence in this unit shall be considered
holistically. Each Element and associated performance criteria
shall be demonstrated on at least two occasions in accordance with
the ‘Assessment Guidelines – UEE11’. Evidence shall also
comprise:
 A representative body of work performance demonstrated
within the timeframes typically expected of the discipline,
work function and industrial environment. In particular this
shall incorporate evidence that shows a candidate is able to:

procedures and practices, including the use of risk control
measures as specified in the performance criteria and range
statement
 Apply sustainable energy principles and practices as
specified in the performance criteria and range statement
 Demonstrate an understanding of the essential knowledge
and associated skills as described in this unit. It may be
required by some jurisdictions that RTOs provide a
percentile graded result for the purpose of regulatory or
licensing requirements.
 Demonstrate an appropriate level of skills enabling
employment
 Conduct work observing the relevant Anti Discrimination
legislation, regulations, polices and workplace procedures
 Demonstrated consistent performance across a representative
range of contexts from the prescribed items below:
 Install commercial audio/video system components as
described in 8) and including:
A Reading and interpreting drawings of system arrangements and
component locations.

B Placing and securing components and accessories accurately.

C Maintaining fire integrity.

D Connecting apparatus and associated components to comply with

requirements.

E Dealing with unplanned events by drawing on essential

knowledge and skills to provide appropriate solutions
incorporated in a holistic assessment with the above listed items.

Note:
Successful completion of relevant vendor training may be used to contribute to evidence on which
competency is deemed. In these cases the alignment of outcomes of vendor training with performance
criteria and critical aspects of evidence shall be clearly identified.

resources for
assessment

This unit should be assessed as it relates to normal work practice

using procedures, information and resources typical of a

workplace. This should include:

 OHS policy and work procedures and instructions.
 Suitable work environment, facilities, equipment and materials
to undertake actual work as prescribed by this unit.
These should be part of the formal learning/assessment
environment.
Note:
Where simulation is considered a suitable strategy for assessment,
conditions must be authentic and as far as possible reproduce and
replicate the workplace and be consistent with the approved
industry simulation policy.
The resources used for assessment should reflect current industry
practices in relation to installing commercial audio/video system
components.

Method of 9.4)
assessment

This unit shall be assessed by methods given in Volume 1, Part 3

‘Assessment Guidelines’.
Note:
Competent performance with inherent safe working practices is
expected in the industry to which this unit applies. This requires
that the specified essential knowledge and associated skills are
assessed in a structured environment which is primarily intended
for learning/assessment and incorporates all necessary equipment
and facilities for learners to develop and demonstrate the essential
knowledge and skills described in this unit.
